I closed my Chase savings account and joined a credit union with it. I’m in the process of ridding my life of Chase, the next step is closing my primary checking account. I’m gonna make sure my unemployment insurance is all switched over before I do that. I learned the hard way that when you change your deposit info with the Employment Department they put direct deposit on hold and send you a paper check while they make sure all the new info is kosher. It took me a few days to determine that. Silly me.

Next step is closing my bills checking account, but I gotta make sure my krav maga direct payments are sorted, so that might take a month.

I also have to transfer my IRA to the credit union. I’ll start that when I go in next time, for whatever that is. I need to start an interest bearing savings account and decide if I’m going to do the two checking accounts thing or not. I got checks on my interest bearing, ATM fee refunding checking account, which was a silly thing to do if I’m gonna run a second checking account for bills. I’ll probably try to keep everything straight in one checking account, which would have prevented this whole mess. Still it’s a good thing to not have a fucking commercial bank looking to screw you every chance it gets in your life.

So, fuck you, Chase. :-)

Other news, my permanent license came already (wtg, DMV) and I’m working on getting my EPA certification to buy refrigerants. With that I can get a refrigeration repair gig. I’d rather babysit (building maintenance) but there’s more money in service.

Okay, go outside and play now. It’s raining. :-)
